As much as I can’t stand full-size pickups, a Chevy Silverado EV has the towing range to make towing the trailer a lot more practical.

One potentially interesting option that the author hasn’t tried is a yacht. Anybody seen any accounts of a cruising digital nomad?

Hundred Rabbits[0] have been an inspiration for me for a while. They work from their sailboat!

Microship is the OG digital nomad and switched from bicycles to boats at some point: https://microship.com/

Sarah Steenland the Cruising Cartoonist has been working a digital artist job and raising a family on sailboats for years in the South Pacific: https://www.sarahsteenland.com/

100 Rabbits are fairly well known, and they use a boat to sail around the pacific.

So much wasted energy from the source of generation to the EV motor.. Diesel engines are optimized for towing

[wesleytodd]

We full time'd for a while towing a 40ft trailer with a diesel f250. While it is obviously not "efficient" relative to smaller rigs, it is way more efficient than living in a house and commuting daily even with an EV. This is one of those things I don't think people realize about "low carbon impact living" (or whatever you would want to call it), you likely get 80% there just by not heading/cooling a 2k sqft house all the time.

There really isn't.

US grid losses are about 5% [1] and charging loses another 10-15%, and the motors are at least 90% efficient.

Meanwhile, automotive diesel engines lose 60% straight out the exhaust pipe, and that's not counting the energy required to refine and transport the diesel.
